Drawing & Shading
Drawing
Our main goal is to improve at drawing as a drawer. Drawing is a learned skill and outcomes are not determined by "talent"; they are determined by practicing, in specifics ways.
You can work out of any drawing book that you may have, plus do our work. I encourage you to draw a little bit everyday, whether they are drawings of things in your home (still life), things from your imagination, anime or other characters, abstract works (can't be recognized as a part of the physical world we see), and/or combinations of anything. Go creative, like you do at school. And, share your work; get feedback, keep improving.

Types of Shading
Shading is adding blocks and lines of color to an area or an object. It shows light and shadow.
- Hatching = closely spaced parallel lines
- Cross- & Multi-hatching = when hatching lines are at a different angles to one another...mesh.
- Blending = coloring with value and mixing colors
- Stippling = dots
